Merge pull request 'fix(deploy): make the view's upper base before installing the view' (#113 ) from fix/media-view-ensure-base into main

fix(deploy): make the view's upper base before installing the view
`ensure_media_view` ran `install` on a host where the documented base directory did not exist, and `install` refuses by design ("put it on the SSD first") — so tonight's cutover would have died at the restart step with nobody beside the box. `media-view.sh ensure-base` now makes the documented directory, and the deployer calls it first; two seams cover it (the subcommand's behaviour, and the ordering invariant inside `ensure_media_view`). Docs flip with the deploy: the view is live on Dankserver (both media servers verified resolving real media through it), so every "never been deployed" claim in the view, Plex, Jellyfin and AGENTS pages is corrected, and three laws join them — a container restart discards the in-flight library scan and nothing resumes it; Jellyfin 12.4 authenticates only the `MediaBrowser Token` form, so a 401 says nothing about the key until the `ApiKeys` table is read; and Plex answers 32400 over TLS only, which makes a plaintext health probe read as dead.

-# Tunables for frank-dragoon (kingjones777/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-ROCmFP4-
-# STRIX-GGUF on the kingjones30/ROCmFPX llama.cpp runtime, Dankclaw,
-# Strix Halo gfx1151, unified memory).
-#
-# Runtime: kingjones30/ROCmFPX (fork of charlie12345/ROCmFPX with the
-# qwen4exp-on-rocmfpx-d3ca537 patch applied — the model card's pinned
-# runtime: ROCmFP4 tensor types AND the qwen4exp architecture in one
-# tree; stock llama.cpp and charlie's fork alone cannot load this GGUF).
-# Built per the card recipe:
-#   cmake -B build -DGGML_HIP=ON -DGPU_TARGETS=gfx1151 -DGGML_NATIVE=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-# at /home/dank/GitPackages/kingjones-ROCmFPX/build.
-# Replaced the agentionai ROCmFP4-FAST imatrix deployment (charlie's
-# build-qwen38 runtime) on 2026-08-30.
-#
-# Model: Qwen3.8-Flash-Next base (qwen4exp MoE: 512 experts / 10 used,
-# 48 layers = 12 attention + 36 SSM, QSA indexer, hyper-connections, PLE
-# at layer 1), Q4_0_ROCMFP4_STRIX (file_type 105), 113.47 GiB single
-# file. STRIX is the top quality tier: PLE table at Q8_0 (50.66 GiB),
-# token embeddings + lm head at Q6_K. The PLE table NEVER enters GPU
-# memory — it streams from the file through the OS page cache. Two hard
-# card constraints:
-#  1. mmap MUST stay enabled (default) — --no-mmap forces the 50.66 GiB
-#     table into anonymous memory and the cgroup killer takes the
-#     process with nothing in the server log (only dmesg).
-#  2. Do NOT pin the PLE tensor to CPU with -ot — measured gen fell
-#     ~23 -> 13.4 tok/s; the kernel streams it better.
-# NOTE: the card's own build_attn_qsa still calls ggml_fill on the
-# F16-cast kq mask (the path that aborted our charlie build with
-# --flash-attn on before scripts/patches/qwen4exp-qsa-f32-mask.patch).
-# If a clean kingjones-tree build aborts graph build with
-# GGML_ASSERT(a-type == GGML_TYPE_F32), port that fix (F32 base mask +
-# cast at the attention call) into this tree and rebuild.
-#
-# WARNING: do not name any variable TEMP, HOST, or GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE. The ROCm HIP runtime reads those bare env vars (see the 2026-08-13 TEMP

-`AtomicOpsCap: Routing-`, which no software can enable (see the runbook), so

-# Install path on dankserver: ~/.config/containers/systemd/frank-medium-proxy.container

-#
-# WHAT IT IS. A prefix-affinity reverse proxy in front of the two single-GPU
-# frank-medium replicas (:7771 on R9700 #1, :7772 on R9700 #2). It preserves
-# the fleet contract: one endpoint on host port 7770 answering as the served
-# model name frank-medium, OpenAI /v1, streaming included.
-#
-# WHY IT EXISTS. TP=2 — one vLLM process spanning both cards — is impossible
-# on this host (see frank-medium-a.container and the runbook: RCCL's kernels
-# need PCIe atomics, and the second card's chipset path advertises
-# AtomicOpsCap: Routing-). Two replicas are how both cards get used.
-#
-# ROUTING. Requests are keyed on a hash of their leading 4 KiB of prompt text,
-# so a conversation family — an agent loop re-sending the same system prompt,
-# tool list and file context every turn — keeps landing on the same replica,
-# where --enable-prefix-caching has that prefix warm. Plain round-robin threw
-# half of those cache hits away. A replica that is down is skipped, and
-# ROUTING=roundrobin restores the old behaviour for A/B measurement. /health
-# answers 200 while at least one replica is up and names the ones that are
-# down. The proxy runs on host networking so it can bind 7770 and reach the
-# replicas on loopback.
-#
-# The script is a few dozen lines of aiohttp, mounted read-only out of
-# /home/dank/serverAppConfigs (deploy.sh pulls that checkout before dispatch).
-# It reuses the same image as the replicas: aiohttp is already there and no
-# extra image has to be pulled on this host.

-"""Routing policy for the frank-medium proxy: which replica serves a request.
-
-Kept apart from the HTTP plumbing in affinity-proxy.py so the decisions can be
-tested without aiohttp, a network or a GPU — the first version of these rules
-shipped with a bug that only appeared on a continuation request, and a test
-that loads this module catches that class of mistake directly.
-
-Two cards, two behaviours, and the workload decides which is right:
-
-* A **single-turn** request is one member of a batch (a benchmark run, a burst
-  of parallel subagents). Spreading those over both replicas lets both cards
-  prefill at once; measured on this host, a 16-request burst of 15k-token
-  prompts finishes in 18.6 s spread versus 30.1 s pinned.
-* A **continuation** re-sends a prefix the replica has already prefilled. Pinned
-  to that replica the turn costs a cache lookup; spread, half the turns pay a
-  cold prefill again (measured: 1096 ms versus 2676 ms mean warm-turn TTFT on
-  90k-token contexts).
-
-ROUTING picks the strategy; the default `adaptive` applies both rules above.
-`affinity` and `roundrobin` exist so the choice can be re-measured, and are not
-production settings.

-# the SOLE LLM runtime on the box: the vllm-radiance replica pair and its
-# routing proxy are retired.
-#
-# Hardware: two R9700 (Navi 48, RDNA4, 32,624 MiB each), no XGMI, different
-# IOMMU groups -- every cross-card byte goes over PCIe.  The Raphael iGPU
-# (gfx1036/Radeon 610M) enumerates as HIP device 2 and is hidden below so
-# nothing can drift onto shared system RAM.
-#
-# WHY LAYER SPLIT AND NOT TENSOR (operator call, 2026-09-16): tensor parallel
-# needs a cross-card allreduce per layer, and this host cannot dispatch one.
-# RCCL's kernels carry a hidden hostcall-buffer parameter, and ROCr refuses it
-# on a device without PCIe atomics -- the second card sits behind the B650
-# chipset bridges (AtomicOpsCap: Routing-, read-only), so every collective that
-# touches it dies with hipErrorIllegalState.  Measured on this box 2026-09-15
-# (llama-bench, pp4096 / tg128, f16 KV, fa on):
-#
-#   single R9700    1160.9 / 19.42
-#   layer  2x       1991.2 / 18.76      (859.1 / 17.64 at depth 32768)
-#   tensor 2x        271.8 / 26.26      (no RCCL: butterfly fallback, -7x prefill)
-#
-# Layer split distributes layers in order; only the activation at the boundary
-# crosses the wire, once per forward pass.  That is the "pipeline parallelism"
-# this service wanted, and it needs no collective at all.
-#
-# Runtime: mainline llama.cpp master fb27a525 (2026-09-16), gfx1201, built by
-# scripts/build-llama-rdna4.sh against a private ROCm 7.14.0a20260624 toolchain
-# that is bundled next to the binary (RPATH $ORIGIN/../lib, no LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
-# The ref is pinned by TWO features: DFlash2 (ggml-org/llama.cpp#27342 -- the
-# drafter is detected from its GGUF) and qwen35 MTP.  Do not float it.
-#
-# Model: orcarouter/Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-GGUF @ Q8_0, 27.0 GiB, arch qwen35
-# (verified from the GGUF header 2026-09-19: 262144 trained window, 24 heads /
-# 4 KV heads, nextn_predict_layers=1).  The file ALSO carries the model's MTP
-# head (blk.64.nextn.*), so --spec-type draft-mtp is available without a second
-# copy in VRAM -- one SPEC_TYPE change, the drafter below stays on disk.
-#
-# Drafter: z-lab/Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2-GGUF @ Q4_K_M, 1.06 GiB (operator call
-# 2026-09-19: the Q4 rung -- the drafter's job is throughput, not output
-# quality, and the target verifies every drafted token).  5 layers, hidden
-# 5120, a block-diffusion proposal (block_size 8) under a 2048-token sliding
-# window (dflash.attention.sliding_window=2048, verified from the header).
-# The window is what makes it cheap HERE: its KV is bounded at 2048 positions
-# (~40 MiB) instead of spanning the context (see SIZING).
-#
-# Architecture (GGUF arch qwen35): 64 layers as 16 x (3 x (Gated DeltaNet ->
-# FFN) + 1 x (Gated Attention -> FFN)) -- 48 linear-attention layers whose
-# per-sequence state is CONSTANT-SIZE, 16 full-attention layers at 4 KV heads x
-# 256 head_dim.  A token therefore costs 2 x 4 x 256 x 2 B = 64 KiB of KV at f16
-# in the attention layers only, plus ~0.16 GiB per sequence of f32 DeltaNet
-# state at any depth.
-#
-# SIZING, the deployed shape (32:33 / ctx 327680 / 6144x512 / two slots /

-# ONE -ts STEP IS ONE LAYER, AND LAYERS ARE NOT THE SAME SIZE.  This is a hybrid
-# stack -- 16 x (3 Gated DeltaNet + 1 Gated Attention) blocks -- so moving a
-# DeltaNet layer shifts ~0.43 GiB while an attention layer shifts ~1.43 GiB
-# (0.45 of weights plus ~1.0 GiB of its own f16 KV at 262144).  Both step sizes
-# were measured, which is why the balance is found by measurement rather than by
-# interpolating between splits.
-#
-# WHY THE SPLIT IS 32:33 (operator call, 2026-09-19).  The operator asked for
-# the tensors BALANCED across the two cards, which for 65 layers is 32:33 --
-# the most even split that exists.  The predecessor's 35:30 skew existed to lean
-# work onto the x16 card (ROCm0), because ROCm1's Gen4 x1 chipset path made it
-# the 98 % utilization bottleneck; the measured trade of the balanced point is
-# that the x1 card runs hotter while the x16 card idles a little more, and the
-# operator accepted that for symmetry.  Do not re-skew without asking.
-#
-# THE TWO CARDS' PATHS ARE NOT SYMMETRIC (measured, 2026-09-17): ROCm0
-# (03:00.0) hangs off CPU root port 00:01.1 at Gen4 x16 end to end (~31.5 GB/s);
-# ROCm1 (0b:00.0) rides the B650 chipset through bridges that each negotiate
-# Gen4 x1 (~1.97 GB/s).  The layer-split boundary itself is not the cost
-# (~5.2 MB of activation per 512-token ubatch rides the wire); the x1 card is
-# COMPUTE-bound, not PCIe-bound.
-#
-# A FAULT TO WATCH.  A 39:26 split, at 1x batch / 1 slot, died on its eighth
-# request: the amdgpu driver logged SDMA0 UTCL2 page faults and the engine
-# surfaced `ROCm error: an illegal memory access was encountered` -> ggml_abort,
-# i.e. a fault in the cross-card boundary copy, this layer split's hot path.  It
-# has not reproduced since, but the signature is worth recognising -- it is NOT
-# an OOM, and no amount of headroom prevents it.
-#

-# THE PLATEAU STARTS AT 512.  512 -> 1536 buys ~2 % of prefill -- inside the

-# columns -- while costing 1.35 GiB on ROCm0 and 2.10 GiB on ROCm1, so the
-# deployment takes the cheap end.  BELOW 512 the SMs are no longer saturated:
-# 384 and 256 fall ~11 % and ~12 %.  The logical batch is free either way --
-# 2048, 4096 and 6144 land within 2 % of each other at a fixed ubatch and use
-# the SAME VRAM, because the compute buffers are sized by ubatch alone.
-#
-# The prefill figure is a property of the SHAPE, not of this knob: the same
-# sweep with no depth in front of it (depth 0) runs 1543 tok/s at ubatch 256 and
-# 1723 at 1536 -- the plateau is in the same place, and the ~32 % between the two
-# tables is what attending over 64k of resident KV costs.  Decode is 15.88 tok/s
-# at depth 65536 on EVERY ubatch (17.80 at depth 0), so this knob cannot touch
-# generation at all.
-#
-# 8192/2048 stays untested under this drafter (the "2020 MiB pp buffer fails on

-# The cost is host RAM, allocated on demand and never pinned (plain heap

-#   draft-dflash 7  43.5 tok/s  41 % accepted       card1 29.42 GB
-#
-# All four produced IDENTICAL greedy text, so verification is lossless
-# whichever proposer runs.  DFlash2 is the faster proposer (2.46x over
-# autoregressive, 34 % over the best MTP).  The MTP head adds ~3.3 GB to the
-# card that holds it, against 1.06 GB for the Q4_K_M drafter's file -- at the
-# 327680 pool the drafter's window-bounded KV (~40 MiB) leaves headroom on
-# both cards, so the speed wins.
-#
-# THE TWO CANNOT BE CHAINED. `--spec-type draft-mtp,draft-dflash` dies at load:
-#   context type MTP requested but model doesn't contain MTP layers
-#   failed to create MTP context
-# A chain has ONE draft context, and MTP builds against whatever model that
-# context holds -- here the DFlash2 file, which has no MTP layers. MTP's head is
-# only loaded when MTP IS the draft model ("creating MTP draft context against
-# the target model ..."), so a chain of the two is a structural dead end, not a
-# tuning question. See serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/frank-medium-llamacpp-dflash2.md.
-
-# ngram-mod: the draftless n-gram matcher (CPU hash table in host RAM, no VRAM,
-# no model file, no draft context).  It joins the chain unconditionally --
-# unlike MTP, which needs a draft context and therefore cannot share one with
-# DFlash2.  NOT CURRENTLY ACTIVE: SPEC_TYPE is draft-dflash alone, and the serve
-# script only passes --spec-ngram-mod-* when the type contains "ngram".  The
-# window below is retained because the DFlash2 + ngram chain was measured free
-# on prose and 2.6x on prompt-echo -- one SPEC_TYPE change brings it back.
-#
-# WINDOW MEASURED 2026-09-16 (chain at each window, decode tok/s):

-#
-# The long window is the right one, and not only because it wins on echo: a
-# SHORT window makes the matcher propose on short fragments of ordinary prose,
-# where the proposals are rejected and the verification still costs -- which is
-# the "ngram hurts" result the fleet measured on other payloads twice before.
-# With 48/64 the chain is byte-identical to DFlash2 alone on prose (same 119
-# drafts / 49 accepted) and on the identity prompt (70/53).

-"""bench-vllm-corpus.py — build a code-shaped benchmark corpus from the repo.
-
-Why this exists: `vllm bench serve --dataset-name random` produces synthetic
-token soup, and speculative decoding accepts it nothing like real code — measured
-on frank-medium, random prompts accepted 2.9-3.6 tokens/update against the ~5.8
-the upstream reference reports on a code mix, which makes the random corpus
-under-report throughput by a wide margin and would pick the wrong SPEC depth.
-
-The prompts are the shape agents actually send: a repository artifact plus an
-instruction that requires reading it. Output length is fixed at bench time
-(`--custom-output-len`), so the corpus carries prompts only.
-
-Usage:
-    bench-vllm-corpus.py [repo-root] [out.jsonl]
-
-Then feed it to the endpoint (see scripts/bench-vllm-serve.sh, which passes the
-tokenizer the client needs and salts prompts so no run inherits a warm prefix
-cache). Methodology and the numbers these corpora produced are in
-serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/frank-medium-radiance-mxfp4.md.

-# bench-vllm-serve.sh — concurrency sweep against a vLLM endpoint.
-#
-# Usage: bench-vllm-serve.sh <tag> <port> [concurrency ...]
-#   e.g. bench-vllm-serve.sh baseline 7770 1 4 8
-#
-# Runs `vllm bench serve` from inside the serving image (so the client matches
-# the server build) through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, on the code corpus
-# scripts/bench-vllm-corpus.py writes.
-#
-# Two traps this script exists to encode, both of which produced silent garbage
-# during the 2026-09-16 frank-medium work:
-#
-#   1. The tokenizer must be passed explicitly and /models mounted. With only
-#      `--model frank-medium` the client tries to resolve that alias on
-#      HuggingFace and dies before sending a request — a run that looks like a
-#      benchmark and reports nothing.
-#   2. `--ignore-eos` is deliberate: it measures decode throughput at a fixed
-#      output length. Drop it when you care about real stop behaviour, but then
-#      do not compare the numbers with anything measured under it.
-#
-# Also note the corpora are code-shaped on purpose (see the generator's header):
-# synthetic random prompts misreport speculative acceptance badly.
-#
-# Methodology, and the numbers these runs produced on 2x R9700, are in
-# serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/frank-medium-radiance-mxfp4.md.

-#
-# Hardware (2026-09-15): the RTX 3090 left Dankserver and two Radeon AI PRO
-# R9700 cards (Navi 48, gfx1201, RDNA4, 32,624 MiB each, PCIe 5.0 x16) took

-# different IOMMU groups, so any cross-GPU traffic goes over PCIe.
-#
-# Runtime: charlie12345/ROCmFPX (llama.cpp fork, ROCmFPX quant family; the
-# Q8_0_ROCMFPX_AGENT tensor type exists nowhere else - stock llama.cpp cannot
-# load this GGUF).  Built for gfx1201 with the fork's self-contained ROCm

-#
-# gfx1201 must be the build target: a gfx1200 binary links, loads the model
-# and then segfaults on this card (fork's docs/BUILD-AMD-ARCHITECTURES.md).
-#
-# Model: kingjones Qwen3.8-27B-ROCmFPX-Q8_0-AGENT - Q8_0_ROCMFPX_AGENT
-# (ftype 115), 26.28 GiB, 8.39 bpw, arch qwen35 (MoE), quantized from a
-# 51.3 GiB BF16 source.  The AGENT routing keeps 12 more attention-output
-# projections at full Q8_0 than the plain 8-bit build, which buys a higher
-# MTP draft acceptance (0.953 vs 0.911) and that is the whole point of this
-# checkpoint.  Model card documents 131,072 context.
-#
-# Parallelism (--split-mode layer, operator call 2026-09-15 "pipeline

-#   tensor 2x       271.8 / 26.26   228.6 / 25.09
-#
-# Tensor parallel wins decode (+40 %) but collapses prefill 7x: this build

-# Serve kingjones777/Qwen3.8-27B-ROCmFPX-Q8_0-AGENT-GGUF as frank-medium via
-# the charlie12345/ROCmFPX llama.cpp runtime on Dankserver
-# (2x AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700, Navi 48, gfx1201, 32 GB each).
-#
-# Runtime: charlie12345/ROCmFPX main (c49ebdb, 2026-08-22), built for
-# gfx1201 with the fork's self-contained ROCm toolchain:
-#
-#   cd /home/dank/GitPackages/charlie-ROCmFPX
-#   env JOBS=8 ./scripts/build-rocmfp4-rocm714-local.sh
-#   -> build-rdna4-rocm714/bin/llama-server
-#
-# That script downloads the gfx120X-all TheRock ROCm 7.14 toolchain into
-# ~/.local/share/rocm-7.14.0a20260624, builds with
-# -DCMAKE_HIP_ARCHITECTURES="gfx1200;gfx1201", copies the ROCm runtime
-# (hip/hsa/rocblas/hipblaslt + their kernel libraries) next to the binary and
-# sets RPATH=$ORIGIN/../lib on it.  The resulting service is self-contained:
-# no LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and the host's stale /opt/rocm-6.3.3 cannot leak in.
-# gfx1201 is NOT interchangeable with gfx1200 on this card (the fork's
-# docs/BUILD-AMD-ARCHITECTURES.md: a gfx1200 build links, loads and then
-# segfaults), and the build verifies the emitted code objects afterwards.
-#
-# Model: kingjones Qwen3.8-27B-ROCmFPX-Q8_0-AGENT (Q8_0_ROCMFPX_AGENT,
-# ftype 115, arch qwen35 MoE), 26.28 GiB main file, plus a separate
-# MTP draft head and an mmproj vision tower.  8.39 bpw; the AGENT routing
-# keeps 13 of the 17 attention-output projections at full Q8_0, which is
-# what makes the MTP draft land ~0.95 of its guesses.  A stock llama.cpp
-# cannot load this GGUF at all - Q8_0_ROCMFPX exists only in this fork.
-#
-# Parallelism: --split-mode layer across both cards (operator call
-# 2026-09-15).  Layers are distributed in order and activations hop PCIe at
-# the boundary; measured llama-bench: layer 1991/18.8 tok/s (pp4096/tg128)
-# vs tensor 272/26.3 and single-card 1161/19.4.  Tensor wins decode +40 %
-# but its prefill collapses 7x on this build (no RCCL: "AllReduce init
-# failed; falling back to meta-backend butterfly"), so layer split wins the

+still emits `IOWeight=10`, the container still starts and answers its health check,

+`RequiresMountsFor=` (inert in the user manager) and `ConditionPathIsMountPoint=`
+(fail-dead): the line is accepted, the unit is happy, the setting is dead.
+
+Two system drop-ins make it real, both placed by `ensure_user_io_delegate` in
+`scripts/deploy-remote.sh` (repo copies under `dankserver/host/systemd/`):
+
+| File | Effect |
+|---|---|
+| `user.slice.d/io-accounting.conf` → `[Slice] IOAccounting=yes` | puts `io` into `user.slice/cgroup.subtree_control`; lands immediately, no restart |
+| `user@1000.service.d/io-delegate.conf` → `[Service] DelegateControllers=cpu memory pids io` | the user manager can only request controllers it was delegated; read when it starts, so it lands on **the next reboot** (restarting it kills every rootless container on the host) |

+Read the chain in this order — each line is the failure mode of the one after it:
+
+```bash
+cat /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/cgroup.subtree_control                    # wants: io

+
+`io` missing from the first → the accounting drop-in is absent. Missing from the
+second → the host has not rebooted since the delegation landed (the deployer prints
+`NOTE: io is not delegated …` for exactly this). No file at the third → that unit
+carries no weight.
+
+Two limits that survive the fix: a container's weight covers **everything** in its
+cgroup, so a library scan and a playback stream share one weight; and the comparison
+is made *inside* `user.slice`, so a rootless unit's weight cannot push it below a
+root unit (`frank-archon`). Shaping that pairing is the weight of `user.slice`
+itself — a fleet decision, not a unit line.

-# Seam: the frank-medium service on dankserver.
-# frank-medium became a rootless Quadlet deployment on 2026-09-15 when the
-# vllm-radiance MXFP4 stack replaced the charlie12345/ROCmFPX llama.cpp
-# runtime on the 2x Radeon AI PRO R9700. The intended shape is one
-# tensor-parallel process across both cards (frank-medium.container, kept as
-# the target); it cannot run on this host because RCCL's kernels require PCIe
-# atomics and the second card's chipset path advertises AtomicOpsCap: Routing-.
-# The deployed shape is therefore two single-GPU replicas behind a round-robin
-# proxy, which keeps the fleet contract of one :7770 endpoint. This seam pins
-# the properties that make that work: GPU access on the fixed device indices,
-# the upstream launcher's podman posture, host networking with the fleet's
-# client port and alias, per-replica resource shape, boot persistence, and a
-# deploy handler that moves the unusable TP=2 unit into the trash.

+#
+# Live 2026-10-31, Dankserver: the array's systemd mount STARTED eight seconds
+# before the media containers were created, but a rootless quadlet cannot order
+# itself against a SYSTEM mount unit — `RequiresMountsFor=/mnt/entropy` resolves
+# to nothing in the user manager and is simply inert. So podman resolved the bind
+# against the pre-mount directory (which held one stale subdirectory) and both
+# Jellyfin and Plex came up blind: their library root looked empty, Jellyfin
+# logged thousands of `Removing item, Type: "Season"`, and the array sat at 80 %
+# util doing nothing useful until the host went down. A blind bind is not a
+# cosmetic fault — it is a metadata-deleting machine.
+#
+# The measured fix is `ExecStartPre=<repo>/scripts/wait-for-mount.sh <source>`:
+# it WAITS for the mount and then refuses, so `Restart=always` carries the unit
+# across a slow mount. A `ConditionPathIsMountPoint=` was measured on the same
+# host and is the wrong tool: an unmet condition logs `skipped, unmet condition
+# check` with NRestarts=0 and never a start attempt — the unit stays dead until
+# a human starts it. That is fail-dead, not fail-closed.

+# Tests assert only observable behavior of the gate (exit status and the name it
+# refuses by) and the structural law over the quadlets; never the internals.

dank	6d79709cc0	fix(deploy): make the view's upper base before installing the view `ensure_media_view` ran `install` on a host where the documented base directory did not exist, and `install` refuses by design ("put it on the SSD first") — so tonight's cutover would have died at the restart step with nobody beside the box. `media-view.sh ensure-base` now makes the documented directory, and the deployer calls it first; two seams cover it (the subcommand's behaviour, and the ordering invariant inside `ensure_media_view`). Docs flip with the deploy: the view is live on Dankserver (both media servers verified resolving real media through it), so every "never been deployed" claim in the view, Plex, Jellyfin and AGENTS pages is corrected, and three laws join them — a container restart discards the in-flight library scan and nothing resumes it; Jellyfin 12.4 authenticates only the `MediaBrowser Token` form, so a 401 says nothing about the key until the `ApiKeys` table is read; and Plex answers 32400 over TLS only, which makes a plaintext health probe read as dead.	2026-10-31 19:33:16 -07:00

dank	0f4a527337	test(scoping): stop pinning a purgeable trash archive The seam asserted `[ -f scripts/.AGENTTRASH/chat-template.jinja.ik-llama-qwen-sharp ]` so that the planning assertion "could not pass by the file having vanished". That reasoning was wrong twice over: the planner's rule is a PATH rule, so it plans nothing for that path no matter where the bytes sit, and the trash is a purgeable hold — #111 untracked it, so a fresh worktree or CI checkout has no such file and the suite went red on a byte that carries no meaning. Measured: fresh worktree off origin/main, deployment_scoping.bats:39 fails. After the change: that file 28 ok / 0 fail, ./tests/run.sh 789 ok exit 0.	2026-10-31 19:27:56 -07:00

dank	8ae4d1c710	chore: stop tracking .AGENTTRASH — the purger deletes tracked files, dirtying every host The deletion policy moves in-repo deletions into .AGENTTRASH/ beside the item, and .gitignore line 25 already declares it ignored. But 37 retired payloads were committed before that rule existed, and gitignore never applies to tracked paths. Consequence measured 2026-10-31: Dankserver's deploy checkout reported 37 tracked deletions — exactly every tracked trash file — because the approved purger had done its job. Any host that purges is permanently dirty, and a future pull that touches one of those paths aborts mid-deploy with 'local changes would be overwritten' while the tree is in fact clean of real edits. Untrack the four dirs; the bytes stay on disk and in history (they always were recoverable from git, which is what the trash policy's 'temporary hold, not an archive' means). tests/deployment_scoping.bats asserts the staged chat template exists on disk — it still does, so the seam is untouched.	2026-10-31 18:46:53 -07:00

dank	183a6d5442	feat(fleet): give the media servers an I/O share that actually exists A Plex section scan walked 50k files at ~850 r/s and nothing bounded it. `IOWeight=` in a quadlet looks like the fix and does nothing: systemd delegates `cpu memory pids` to user@.service and NOT io, and it drops a resource line it cannot honour without a word — the container boots healthy and its cgroup has no io.weight file at all. Same family as RequiresMountsFor= (inert in the user manager) and ConditionPathIsMountPoint= (fail-dead). Place the two system drop-ins that make the controller reachable (user.slice IOAccounting=yes puts io in user.slice/cgroup.subtree_control, measured immediately; user@1000.service DelegateControllers gains io and lands at the next reboot, because restarting the user manager would kill every rootless container on the host), then ask for the share: IOWeight=10 on jellyfin and plex. 10 is a convention, not a measured optimum — proportional share, only bites under contention, only requirement is far below the default 100. ensure_user_io_delegate places both from git and prints NOTE: io is not delegated … inert until the next reboot, so the quadlet line never reads as live config. Verified on the host: subtree_control flipped to `cpu io memory pids`, the drop-in is attached and parsed (systemctl cat), and the podman 5.7 generator emits IOWeight=10 for both units (bare key; UnitConfigItem= not needed). Two limits recorded instead of hidden: a container's weight covers its whole cgroup (scan and playback share it), and the comparison happens inside user.slice, so it cannot push a rootless unit below a root unit such as frank-archon — that pairing is user.slice's own weight, a separate call. Docs: Quadlet Lifecycle 4b (the three-command read of the chain), Pi-hole (all rootless containers share one 10.0.2.100, so one chatty container throttles DNS for the host — 8 events today), E2E Suite gotcha 7 (the gate depends on the runner's resolver: 21 reds on a lost wired link, 37/37 minutes later). Seam: an in-repo IOWeight= may only exist when both drop-ins exist AND the deployer places them. ./tests/run.sh: 789 ok, exit 0.	2026-10-31 18:42:27 -07:00

dank	e82c8b2d06	fix(fleet): refuse a container start until the mount it binds has answered Dankserver rebooted with the array's mount and the media containers racing. A rootless quadlet cannot order itself against the system's mnt-entropy.mount, so `RequiresMountsFor=/mnt/entropy` is inert in the user manager: podman resolved the bind against the pre-mount directory, Jellyfin and Plex came up blind, and Jellyfin read an empty library and began `Removing item, Type: "Season"` by the thousand. Copyparty had no guard at all. `scripts/wait-for-mount.sh` is the gate: it waits for every named mountpoint, then refuses by name. `ConditionPathIsMountPoint=` is NOT the fix — measured on the host, an unmet condition logs `skipped, unmet condition check` with NRestarts=0 and no start attempt ever follows, which is fail-dead, not fail-closed. Jellyfin and Plex swap the condition for the gate; Copyparty gets one; the law is recorded in AGENTS.md and the view page. Verified on the host: the 5.7.0 quadlet generator accepts ExecStartPre in [Service] (exit 0, all three units generated, gate present), the gate waits for a mount that appears mid-window and proceeds, and it refuses a plain directory after its window naming the path. tests/media_overlay.bats pinned the old mechanism by name; its intent — both media servers refuse to start without the view — now rides the gate.	2026-10-31 18:17:02 -07:00
dank	f7083f175d	perf(media): the apply fsyncs the journal once per batch, not per move The 58k-rename apply on the spinning array spent most of its wall time in fsyncs: one durability flush per rename, and a quadratic `Journal.already()` scan over a growing record list on top of it. Both are the journal's, not the renames'. - `Journal` indexes move intents by (src, dst) so `already()` is O(1). - `--batch N` (default 64) writes N intents, fsyncs once, then performs those N renames. The invariant is unchanged: no rename runs before its own intent is durable, so a crash mid-batch replays the batch and resumes. - Tests: a mid-batch kill loses nothing and the rerun completes; batching changes no final path and no journal line.	2026-10-31 18:04:37 -07:00
